Wild Turkey

Moses Wine solved his first major case in The Big Fix, and with it has come a certain amount of celebrity: articles about him and interviews with him have appeared in Newsweek. Dr. Gunther Thomas shows up at Moses front door with a challenge to clear best-selling author Jock Hecht of the murder of ABC anchorwoman Deborah Frank. Waist-deep in questions that seem to have no answers, Moses must find a way to solve the unsolvable or being portrayed as a jerk in a national magazine. Ever restless, ROGER L. SIMON has spent his life moving between books and movies, gaining distinction in both. In books, he is best known for the seven Moses Wine detective novels, which have won prizes in the U.S. and Great Britain and been published in over a dozen languages. In film, most prominent among his six produced screenplays-including his adaptation of The Big Fix-is Enemies, A Love Story, for which Simon was nominated for an Academy Award. Recently, he has turned to directing, filming the independent Prague Duet, which he co-wrote with his wife, Sheryl Longin, and which was a Romance Classics Premiere in 1999. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
